Some Sylvia Plath Quotes I like

I saw this quotation on Shelia (One Persons Journey Through a World of Books) and liked it so I wanted to share it with you. Also I googled the author and found some other quotations I liked. I have never read any of her works before. :)

"I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in life. And I am horribly limited."
— Sylvia Plath


"There I went again, building up a glamorous picture of a man would would love me passionately the minute he met me, and all out of a few prosy nothings."
— Sylvia Plath

"I felt dumb and subdued. Every time I tried to concentrate, my mind glided off, like a skater, into a large empty space, and pirouetted there, absently."
— Sylvia Plath (The Bell Jar)

"Yes, I was infatuated with you: I am still. No one has ever heightened such a keen capacity of physical sensation in me. I cut you out because I couldn't stand being a passing fancy. Before I give my body, I must give my thoughts, my mind, my dreams. And you weren't having any of those. "
— Sylvia Plath (The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath)

"So much working, reading, living to do! A lifetime is not long enough."
— Sylvia Plath

"I want to taste and glory in each day, and never be afraid to experience pain; and never shut myself up in a numb core of non-feeling, or stop questioning and criticizing life and take the easy way out. To learn and to think; to think and live, to live and learn: this always, with new insight, new understanding, and new love."
— Sylvia Plath (The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath)

"I am still so naïve; I know pretty much what I like and dislike; but please, don’t ask me who I am. A passionate, fragmentary girl, maybe?"
— Sylvia Plath
